Armani Blames Dior of Being Disrespectful DESIGNER, LABEL, MAIN 01.22.10Written By Ben

The Armani house is accusing Christian Dior for being disrespectful. Because of Dior’s additional show, Armani will not be able to use certain models.

Dior has announced that there will be two shows instead of one. They are being scheduled for 2:30pm and 5:30pm. The show for 5:30pm was too close to Armani’s time slot, so Armani has rescheduled their show from 7:30pm to 9:00pm.

The worst part was that Dior made their changes in less than two weeks before the day of the haute couture runway shows.

In response to Armani’s rescheduling statement, Chambre president Grumbach stated, “The calendar looked perfect. But suddenly there was 5:30 show and that was too close to Armani’s original time slot. So, of course he was aggravated. But Signor Armani reacted very quickly and beautifully to change the timing. We really appreciate his efforts.”

In Dior’s defense, the 5:30 show had been unlisted because it was not meant for the press, but rather for VIPs and paying clients. Last year, Dior had set a similar schedule for their previous couture season. Though sparks may be flying, this incident may have just been a misunderstanding.
